They can relocate to highlands. Bangladesh has some high lands you know.
Oh!, my heart bleeds for Florida. If people want to live near coastal areas,
then they should bear the consequence. I am tired of bailing out homes
destroyed in hurricanes.
No, I am saying that Global Warming is not real. But I am giving you a chance
to see the fallacy of your position by saying that even if you are right, it
not as bad as you make it out to be. It might even be good for humankind.

Where would they relocate to?
Do you have any idea what "a few feet" would do to other cities and Florida?!?
Again, I must say, I find it astounding that you agree the phenomenon may be
real, but you think it will cause no great harm. Saying that impoverished
people in Bangladesh should move elsewhere is callous.
This is like saying that avian influenza might cross the species boundary to
people but it will not cause much harm, and even if does kill some people, they
will be mostly poor and the world is overpopulated anyway. And besides, the
last time that happened in 1918, it did not have much effect. It infected only
one fifth of the population and killed only ~50 million people. It was no worse
than WWII. See:
